It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.

Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.

    Yeah truly fascinating. I’ve been waiting until my routine is a bit more dialled in so I can find a spot to go at the same time everyday and see about making some friends.

        Bait? As in give them treats and stuff? I don’t want to kidnap one, but I’d like to keep going to the same area at the same time to maybe get a routine.

        Then I wonder what happens if I don’t make it one day. Will they still come back.
